What steps should I take to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Jomtien after arriving in Bangkok?

Question

The goal is to rent a 1 bedroom apartment in Jomtien. What steps should I follow after getting off the plane in Bangkok?

Ask Thailand · Answer

After arriving in Bangkok, book a hotel in Jomtien for a few days to search for apartments. Check out local resources like Facebook Marketplace, and consider contacting long-term expats for rental advice. Use a taxi or bus to travel from the airport to Jomtien. Research real estate agents, either through an internet search or word-of-mouth, to find available properties. Expect to pay one month's rent upfront and a security deposit. It's also advisable to have some cash on hand and consider setting up a local bank account for easier transactions.

Start by searching for "real estate agent pattaya" using an Internet search engine. Plenty of agents with websites showing available condos. Sort by your requirements and you'll get an idea of what's out there. Once you're here you can go to an agent or just go to the condo which you're interested in. Many have a bulletin board of available condos.

I initially used Cornerstone Properties and they were pretty good. Using an agent "may" cost more as the owner has to pay them for their services, but they will take you around to the properties they represent and hopefully mediate any future issues with the landlord. You should expect to pay one month rent in advance and a 2 month security deposit, although you may luck out and find one with a 1 month deposit. Good luck.

After you get off the plane, follow some other passengers. Eventually you'll see 'your steps' after getting off the plane. Take those down to immigration and passport control. Then there will be 'more steps' to go down to get your baggage- follow these.

Book an hotel first for 5 days. You need to see the apartment yourself. This is so you can check the neighbours out, plus broadband, electric rates which vary from 4.5 to 12 Baht per unit.

So get off at BKK taxi or bus to Jomtien hotel. Facebook marketplace. Also you could head to the Wombat and Kiwi Bar. Loads of good expats in there. Most of them rent locally.

This is a good base for five days: [url redacted]
